One hour of exercise a day should be "taught by Mom" as much as brushing your teeth every day. And it will be more important in the long run. No one is questioning the value of exercise. I agree with your addition to Mom's list. But exercise for general health and well being is being differentiated from exercise for losing weight. Maybe I'm predisposed to believe the newer studies because they confirm my personal experience. I don't have enough subject matter knowledge to evaluate the science and I haven't looked at it closely. My personal anecdote re exercise and weight loss is that I gained a ton and lost nearly a ton over a couple of decades without changing my exercise level. Attempts on the way up to increase exercise to stem the tide never made a difference so I stuck with what I could and would do, which is an hour and a half or so a day, regularly, some extra activity here and there. If I thought that doing more would take off the rest of that ton, I'd try. But experience tells me otherwise. (As for appetite, I haven't discerned any correlation.)
